Getting Information from the Print Dialog

rbuser

I set the "ShowPrintDialog"Property of my Report to "true" and
i get a Dialog when i call "Print".

In the "OnPrintDialogClose" i would like to get access to the
user selections of that dialog. Especially i need to read the
range (all or selected) option.

If i use the print dialog from "Printers.pas" i can simply
access that information like this:

if (PrintDialog.PrintRange = prAllPages) then...

The RB print dialog doesn't offer that property. I could not
find a declaration of the "TppCustomPrinterDialog" object in
your online help. Is it missing?


Regards, Jens

You can access the page range information through the PageRequest property
of the print dialog. For example.

TppPageRequest(ppReport1.PrintDialog.PageRequest).PageSetting => the
selection type
TppPageRequest(ppReport1.PrintDialog.PageRequest).PageRequested =>
requested page
TppPageRequest(ppReport1.PrintDialog.PageRequest).PageList => requested
page range
